“…Regarding base saturation degree, the values for the phaeozem in the Dobrogea Plateau (figure 4) confirm that it is an eubazic soil and its values are closer to those of phaeozems in other plains [9][10][11] (table 2).…”

“…Total cationic exchange capacity (T) If the total cationic exchange capacity is analyzed then the three soil types with the values between 15 and 25 miliequivalents per 100 grams of soil, respectively eutric cambisol, luvisol and preluvisol have a high total cationic exchange capacity and chermozem and phaeozem have a very high values of total cationic exchange capacity with values exceeding 25 miliequivalents per 100 grams of soil (table 3 and figure 5). Total cationic exchange capacity (T) of the eutric cambisol, luvisol and preluvisol in the Dobrogea Plateau is similar to that in other counties of the country [9,12,5,13,10] (table 4).…”

“…Analyzing the values of the other types of soils (Table 2) it was found that the values of the first horizon Ao of the eutric cambisol, preluvisol and luvisol are higher than the values of the same soils in other parts of the country [9][10][11]. Total cationic exchange capacity (T) If the total cationic exchange capacity is analyzed then the three soil types with the values between 15 and 25 miliequivalents per 100 grams of soil, respectively eutric cambisol, luvisol and preluvisol have a high total cationic exchange capacity and chermozem and phaeozem have a very high values of total cationic exchange capacity with values exceeding 25 miliequivalents per 100 grams of soil (table 3 and figure 5).…”

“…The amount of humus in the preluvisol is slightly higher than that of the county of Caras-Severin or the Western Plain. Analyzing the variation of humus only in the case of eutric cambisol (figure 7), we find that values from Dobrogea Plateau (4.77%) is situated closer to the plain areas of the country such as Cluj county (4.56%), Western Plain (4.26%), Vaslui County (4.08%) [10,9] than hilly areas such as Prahova (6.65%), Caras county (6.57%) or Buzau county (5.61%) [16,7].…”

This paper aims to describe and interpret the chemical properties of forest soils in the Dobrogea Plateau. Data on soil analyzes are obtained in the laboratories of National Institute of Research and Development in Silviculture `Marin Dracea` after a recognized and accredited national and international methodology. There were analyzed soil reaction, base saturation degree, total cationic exchange capacity, humus content, total nitrogen and compared with results of soil analysis from other geographical regions of Romania. In the case of forest soils in Dobrogea Plateau, a higher pH was found than in other hilly or highland areas in the country to eutric cambisol, luvisol and preluvisol. Thus soil pH ranges from moderately acidic in the case of luvisols to low alkaline in the case of chernozems. Regarding the base saturation degree (V), there are higher values in this part of the country for preluvisol, luvisol and eutric cambisol and slightly lower values for phaeozem than in other regions of Romania. The amount of humus of eutric cambisols from Dobrogea Plateau is smaller than other hilly areas of the country and slightly higher than similar altitude areas.

“…The humus content for agricultural soils from Bacau County is distributed as follows: very weak (6%), weak (58%), average (31%) and high (5%) [16]. For the forest soils, the average values from other areas of the country show that eutriccambisol and preluvisolcan be moderately humiferous in Romanian West Plain [25], while luvisols can be intensely humiferous in Arges [26].…”

State forests are analyzed periodically, once every 10 years. This includes an analysis of forest soils. The present paperdescribes and interprets the chemical properties of forest soils from Bacau County focusing on the period 1983-2015. As such, 823 soil profiles and 2435 pedogenetic horizons were analysed taking into consideration the soil type, pH, humus content, nitrogen content, base saturation degree and the total cation exchange capacity. The most widespread types of soils are: eutriccambisol, luvisol, preluvisoland dystriccambisol. The dystriccambisols from Bacau County are strongly acid soils, while eutriccambisols and preluvisols are moderately acid. All forest soils from this area have a high cationic exchange capacity and are very well (dystriccambisol, eutriccambisol,luvisol) or well supplied (preluvisol, rendzina) with nitrogen. Knowing the chemical properties of soils is important for the analysis of stand variability and for adopting silvicultural methods adequate for the management of long-lasting forests.

Potential of vegetation and woodland cover recovery during primary and secondary succession, a global quantitative review

Succession is a basic natural process of ecosystem recovery, it may start completely de novo (primary succession) or after serious disturbance of the previous ecosystem (secondary succession). Despite most reclamation and restoration approaches depending on it and despite extensive previous research, we found no worldwide review that would describe the pattern of vegetation cover and woody vegetation recovery in individual types of succession and explore major factors that affect the speed of vegetation recovery. To fill this gap we have searched world literature and extracted data about 244 succession series about total vegetation cover and 113 about woody vegetation cover. The rate of vegetation cover recovery is significantly slower during primary succession than during secondary succession, this however not apply to woody vegetation. The type of disturbance affects the speed of recovery, post‐mining sites recover fastest among primary succession and older fields were the fastest among secondary succession, the slowest one being succession in glacier retreats. Latitude, soil pH, the size of the disturbed area, temperature, and actual evapotranspiration affect the rate of vegetation recovery in primary succession, while only latitude affects secondary succession. Some other factors affect succession after a specific disturbance. The study shows that succession can be an effective tool to restore vegetation cover and woody vegetation on many occasions. We expect that differences in the nutrient availability determine differences in the rate of total vegetation cover recovery, while soil porosity (compaction) may be an important factor affecting woody vegetation recovery.
